Two Glen Ellyn teens who police say used a pellet gun to shoot out 30 car windows and a residential window have been charged with four felony counts of criminal damage to property, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday.

Patrick Kolp, 18, and a 17-year-old teen allegedly shot at windows near Butterfield Road and Route 53 in Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Lombard, according to a release from the sheriff’s office.

The sheriff’s office tracked down their vehicle on June 9 after responding to a call about a broken vehicle window in unincorporated Glen Ellyn.

No injuries were reported.

Both teens were taken into custody in the DuPage County Jail but were released after posting $10,000 bond, according to the sheriff’s office.

Both have been charged with four felony counts of criminal damage to property and one misdemeanor count of criminal damage to property, said DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Paul Darrah.

Criminal damage to property is a class four felony which is punishably by up to three years in prison, Darrah said.
